And lastly to my favourite age group, 3-5 year olds. All the children were squashed into one classroom and immediately stood up and came forward towards me smiling, all but one who almost burst into tears at the site of my white face! They had been waiting, and chanted their greeting as soon as I entered. 😊 ‘How are you? I am fine. Thank you teacher.’ Actually this is the greeting from many Ugandans of all ages who have little English.
I’d promised to do a couple of singing games with them and started with the easy to follow Head shoulders knees and toes. They watched and copied my every move and word, wonderful! The teacher was great!

Then I braved a few minutes outside in the baking hot midday sun doing the Hokey Cokey! There were only a couple of the more ‘enthusiastic’ boys I had to remove from their positions and bring them to hold my hands, and the game completed with no one being pulled over! 🤣
